Aard jezelf altijd om statische elektriciteit te voorkomen.Aard jezelf altijd om statische elektriciteit te voorkomen.
Firmly ground yourself at all times when installing or assembling the internal
components of the server. Most of electronic components in the server are highly
sensitive to electrical static discharge.
Use a solid grounding wrist strap and distinctively place all electronic components in
static-shielded devices to prevent static. Grounding wrist straps can be purchased in
any electronic supply store.
Confirm that the power source is turned off and then disconnect the power cords from
your system before performing any type of installation or manual servicing. A sudden
surge of power could severely damage the sensitive electronic components.
Do not precipitously open the systems top cover. If you must open the cover for
maintenance purposes, only a trained technician should be allowed to proceed this
action. Integrated circuits on computer boards are highly sensitive to static electricity.
Before operating a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system
unit chassis for a couple of seconds to discharge any static electricity on your body.
Place the server in a stable environment. Place the server in a stable environment.

Place this equipment on a stable surface when installing. A small mild drop or fall could
cause fatal injury to both the equipment and the person handling the equipment.
Please keep this equipment away from humidity to prevent vast rust and disintegration.
Carefully and accurately mount the equipment into the rack. Uneven mechanical
loading may lead to hazardous consequences.
This equipment is to be installed for operation in an environment with maximum
ambient temperature below 35°C.
Review the environment before performing any installation or servicing. Keep the
equipment away from hazardous and uneven grounds.
This server must be installed only in Restricted Access Locations.

Do not cover the openings of the system. The openings on the system are for air
convection, which intentionally protect the equipment from overheating.
Never pour any liquid into ventilation openings of the system. This could cause
catastrophic fire or electrical shock.
Safety Instructions
ii
Ensure that the voltage of the power source is within the specification on the label
when connecting the equipment to the power outlet. The current load and output power
of loads must be within the specification.
This equipment must be firmly connected to reliable grounding before usage. Pay
special attention to power supplied other than direct connections, e.g. using of power
strips.
Place the power cord out of the way of foot traffic. Do not place anything over the
power cord. The power cord must be rated for the product, voltage and current marked
on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cord
should be greater than the voltage and current rating marked on the product.
Pay attention to hardware maintenance.Pay attention to hardware maintenance.

If the equipment is not used for a long time, disconnect the equipment from mains to
avoid being damaged by transient over-voltage.
Module and drive bays must not be empty. They must have a dummy cover.
Never open the equipment without professional assistance. For safety reasons, only
qualified service personnel should open the equipment.
If one of the following situations arise, the equipment should be checked and tested by
service personnel:
1. The power cord or plug is damaged.
2. Liquid has penetrated the equipment.
3. The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
4. The equipment does not work well or will not work according to its user manual.
5. The equipment has been dropped and/or damaged.
6. The equipment has obvious signs of breakage.
7. Please disconnect this equipment from the AC outlet before cleaning. Do not
use liquid or detergent for cleaning. The use of a moisture sheet or cloth is
recommended for cleaning.
CAUTION
The equipment intended for installation should be placed in Restricted Access Location.
CAUTION
There will be a risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose
of used batteries according to the instructions. After performing any installation or
servicing, make sure the enclosure is correct in position before turning on the power.
CAUTION
This unit may have more than one power supply. Disconnect all power sources before
maintenance to avoid electric shock.

To ensure a safe and easy setup, you need to prepare before installation:
a T30 torque screwdriver
ESD wrist strap/mat and conductive foam pad
Safe and stable environment
CAUTION
The pins of the processor socket are vulnerable and easily susceptible to damage if ngers
or any foreign objects are pressed against them. Please keep the socket protective cover on
when the processor is not installed.
CAUTION
When unpacking a processor, hold the processor only by its edges to avoid touching the con-
tacts.
Standard Processor Assembly:
A standard processor assembly is comprised of 5 components: processor carrier,
processor, bolster plate assembly, socket and back plate.

Attach the heat sink onto the CPU carrier. Hook the corners of the CPU carrier to the
back side of the heat sink.
Install the assembled heat sink and CPU carrier onto the CPU socket. Please use a T-30
torque driver tighten the nuts in the four corners of the heat sink labeled in the order
1 2 3 4.
CAUTION
Failure to tighten the heat sink screws in the specified order may cause damage to the
processor socket assembly. Heat sink screws is recommended to be tightened to 8 in-
lbs torque, but can be tightened to 12 in-lbs torque according to the indicated order on
the top of the heatsink label.
